I stayed in the condo right across the hall for years until it was sold, and I was spoiled by the 4th floor bay view and ideal location for taking beach walks. So I was delighted to learn I could have that experience again. Les and Kathy were a pleasure to do business with. I always choose rentals rated highly for cleanliness, and this is the best I’ve seen.

Wonderful spot in the OC

This was the best choice I ever made for booking in OC. Hotels are a hit or a miss around there, and sometimes you really want a guarantee somewhere is clean and close by. The hosts were diligent in communication too!

Great condo / location for Oceans Calling Festival

Property was well kept and clean and suited our needs for the Oceans Calling Festival. Property is right next to the Ocean City Convention Center which served as parking for the Oceans Calling Festival and there was a bus stop that picked up and dropped off concert goers by the parking lot so the location was great. Property owners were responsive and would rent again for a beach vacation as the location was walking distance to a lot of things.

Weekend stay

Our stay at this condo was amazing! The condo is exactly as advertised. Pictures really don’t do justice. We were in town for a cheer competition that we come to every year and this condo made our experience so much better. It’s right beside the convention center so we didn’t have to fight the parking. It is within walking distance of a lot of things. We just loved it and would def stay here again.

Fantastic property

One of the best properties we’ve stayed at off VRBO. We were in town for the weekend for an event at the convention ctr and the location was perfect for that. The unit was SUPER clean and very well maintained. The view from the balcony was incredible w spectacular views of the sunset. Had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The owners were an absolute pleasure to work with. Would definitely stay in this condo again.

Dance Competition Week

We stayed here because the location was perfect due to the dance competition being held at the convention center. It was so easy to walk back and forth all day. The unit was very well maintained and the owners were very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us!

Wonderful weekend trip!

This property was absolutely perfect for our weekend. We had a basketball tournament and the location was literally a two minute walk to the front door of the convention center. The bay was quiet and the sunsets were beautiful. The entire unit was spotless and the pictures do not do it justice. The owners were very responsive and extremely accommodating. I would absolutely book this condo again in a heartbeat!

Relaxing

We were original owners at the unit next door for 30 years and it was a very familiar, comfortable feeling. The unit was well-maintained and there were upgrades throughout. Always enjoy the option of bayside because of the pool and fishing/boating pier and docks. The grounds are immaculately maintained as well and the upgrade to the facade looks nautical. Highly recommend as it is also centrally located which makes it convenient as well as it sits next to the convention center on the bay away from Coastal Highway traffic.

A perfect spot

We rented this unit for one week for my family of four. My daughter was competing in a dance competition at the convention center which is right across the street and was very easy to walk to. Easy 2 block walk to the beach and spectacular sunsets from the balcony. Owners were available and promptly answered all my questions and have great dining recommendations. Only negative thing was the all beds are very firm. Regardless we will definitely book here again for her next competition.
